The EOS 400D, called Digital Rebel XTi in North America and EOS Kiss Digital X in Japan,[2] is a consumer digital single-lens reflex camera introduced by Canon August 24, 2006.[3] It is the successor of the popular Canon EOS 350D, upgrading to a 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, a larger continuous shooting buffer, an integrated image sensor vibrating cleaning system, a more precise 9-point auto focus system from the EOS 30D, improved grip, and a bigger 2.5-inch LCD with 230,000 pixels and a larger viewing angle which replaces the top status screen. The 400D uses the DIGIC II image processor, as is used in the 350D. However it has been noted by many users that the 400D does underexpose unlike the 350D which tended to overexpose. In some cases this has been identified as a calibration fault which cannot be corrected by firmware upgrade.[citation needed]
It retails at US$800 MSRP, or $900 with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens, thus lowering the bar for other $1000 10 megapixel DSLRs like the Sony α 100 or the Nikon D80, which were also unveiled in summer 2006. Canon will also be introducing a kit with the EF-S 17-85 f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens at a later date. Two new lenses have been launched simultaneously: the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, the fastest Canon standard lens in production; and the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens, a telephoto zoom with an image stabilizer.[4]
